2009 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000
WHAT: 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race
Final event of the five-race 2009 SCORE Desert Series
WHEN: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday, November 18-22, 2009
WHERE: Ensenada-Baja California, Mexico (65 miles south of U.S./Mexico Border)
WHO: Over 350 entries from 39 U.S. States, and 14 countries,
competing in 28 Pro and 6 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks,
motorcycles and ATVs
COURSE: TOTAL MILEAGE: 672.85 miles (6 checkpoints plus the finish
line). Starts and finishes on Blvd. Costero, adjacent to the Riviera
del Pacifico Cultural Center in Ensenada. From the start in Ensenada
the course will go east to Ojos Negros for almost 40 miles which will
be raced in both directions during the race. From Ojos Negros, the
course will travel in a clockwise direction. From Ojos Negros, the
course turns South to El Alamo and then east up through the Summit and
makes a South turn at Cohabuzo Junction and on to the the infamous
Laguna Salada, paralleling Mexican Highway 5. Next is San Felipe loop
where the course will cover some of the rugged Tecate SCORE San Felipe
250 course including the magnificent Matomi Wash.
After the San Felipe loop, which travels in a counterclockwise
direction from and back to Borrego, the course will head north and
northwest, joining Highway 3 for a short distance to the Mike’s Sky
Ranch turnoff. Then the course heads behind Mike’s and around Rancho
Las Truchas and Rancho El Coyote and down the challenging Simpson’s
hill. From this point the course is very similar to the Tecate SCORE
Baja 500 heading north along the Pacific Ocean below San Vicente and
past Erendira, back inland up through Santo Tomas then turning
northeast just past Uruapan winding its way back to Ojos Negros for
the final charge back to Ensenada. In the Erendira area, the course
avoids the rocky section along the Pacific, taking instead a high
plateau east of that area.
This year’s race course will feature 6 outlying checkpoints where
each vehicle is required to quickly stop before continuing on. The
checkpoints will be located as follows: Checkpoint No. 1—No. of Santa
Catarina (race mile 90.03), No. 2—West of Borrego (rm 213.27), No.
3—South of San Felipe (rm 309.80), No. 4—West of Borrego (rm 401.94),
No. 5—San Vicente Vineyards (rm 535.32), No. 6—South of Ojos Negros
(rm 631.25)

Santo Tomas (1998) and Ojos Negro (1999). The last time this race
ended in Ensenada was 2005.
TIRE STREAK:
BFGoodrich Tires, long a staple in desert racing, had an amazing
streak of 20 consecutive overall 4-wheel vehicle winners broken in
2006 by Toyo Tires, but won again both in 2007 and 2008.

BACK FOR MORE:
Another testament to how much this race means to the sport of desert
racing, 24 of 27 Pro class winners from last year are back in the
starting field for this year’s race.
HALL JUST KEEPS ON GOING AND GOING:
When veteran Rod Hall straps on his racing helmets and take the green
flag, he will keep his incredible streak alive of being the only racer
who has competed in all 42 SCORE Baja 1000 races. Hall, who will turn
72 on Nov. 22, will be the second driver in vehicles in both Stock
Mini and Stock Full. Hall is the all-time winningest racer in this
event with 19 class wins
CONTINUING STREAKERS:
Jim O’Neal, an age-group motorcycle rider, has put together teams of
riders who have seven class wins in the last five years, including an
amazing three in 2006 (Class 40, Class 50 and Class 60). Larry
Roeseler has an amazing five straight class wins (four in Class 1 and
last year in SCORE Trophy-Truck). Francisco Septien has three straight
wins (Class 30) along with Mike Shaffer (Class 17). Recording two
class wins each year, with four straight motorcycle class wins is
Craig Adams (Class 40, Class 50). With two straight class wins is Chad

(Class 22), Robby Bell (Class 22), Brett Helm (Class 40), Francisco
Arredondo (Class 21) and Chad Black (Class 20). Arredondo and Black
are entered in Class 22 this year.
TIGHT POINTS--CLASS 1 & CLASS 1-2/1600: SCORE points are determined
both on final finishing position and number of vehicles which started
the race within the individual class. After four events, following
Robby Gordon’s big lead of 24 points over second place in the SCORE
Overall point standings (he also has an even larger 48-point lead in
SCORE Trophy-Truck), only 16 points separate the rest of the top 10 in
the 2009 SCORE Overall point standings. Second overall is Class 10
point leader Mike Lawrence and the closest class races are the
unlimited Class 1, Class 1-2/1600 and Class 22 for open motorcycles.
Randy Wilson leads Class 1 by six points over Harley Letner/Martin
Christensen and seven over Armin Schwarz/Martin Christensen. Tied for
the Class 1-2/600 point lead are Brian Wilson/Sammy Ehrenberg and
Justin Smith. In Class 22, the team led by Cameron Corfman leads by
just three points over two teams (Colton Udall and Ivan Rameriz) and
five points over the team led by Kendall Norman.

November 9, 2009
Next week in Ensenada, Mexico
Like Ampudia, Bio, Baldwin, Hall, Herbst, McMillin, Vildosola,
Wilson–it’s all about family at 42nd Tecate SCORE Baja 1000
326 Racers entered to date, including 35 SCORE Trophy-Trucks, from 39 States
And 14 countries in internationally-televised Granddaddy of all desert races
LOS ANGELES—From Ampudia to Wilson, desert racing is all about family ties and among the nearly 350 entries for next week’s 42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 are over 30 entries with multiple-family members competing in the granddaddy of all desert races.
With racers competing in 29 Pro and 6 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs, the legendary race will be held Nov. 19-22 in Ensenada, Mexico. Completing its 36th year as the World’s foremost desert racing sanctioning body, the event is the finale of the five-race 2009 SCORE Desert Series. To date, adventurers and the world’s best desert racers have come from 39 U.S. States and 14 countries to gather on the majestic Baja California peninsula.
While many entries have family members on support crews that can swell to as high as 50 people and some entries now have third-generation desert racers, the Ampudia, Bio, Baldwin, Hall, Herbst, McMillin, Vildosola and Wilson families are among the prominent SCORE Baja racers that have multiple family members competing either in the same vehicle or in separate vehicles this year in the world’s most challenging desert race.
“There is no sport in the world that attracts more family participants than desert racing,” said Sal Fish, SCORE CEO/President since soon after SCORE International started in 1973. “SCORE is both humbled and honored to have so many of the greatest racing families in the world competing with us in the most incredible desert race in the world. To think with everything going on in the world today that we have nearly 350 entries heading to Ensenada is a true testament to the preeminent position this race holds in the motorsports world.”
It’s the oldest and most well known of all desert races, and it remains as the single most appealing accomplishment to a driver. Since 1967, the Granddaddy of all desert races has been run over the mysterious Baja California peninsula. Because of the economics and logistics involved, some years it is a peninsula run while most years it is a loop race, starting and finishing in Ensenada.
This year’s 672.85-mile race will start for the 35th time and finish for the 20th time in Ensenada. The motorcycle and ATV classes will start their journey at 6:30 a.m. (PST, Friday, Nov. 20) with the car and truck classes starting at approximately 10:30 a.m., or three hours after the last ATV leaves the line. Vehicles will leave in 30-second intervals in the elapsed-time race and while the fastest finishers are expected to complete the course in approximately 14 hours. All vehicles will have a 31-hour time limit to become official finishers in the legendary adventure.
Rodrigo Ampudia Jr., of Ensenada, splits driving in Class 8 with his father Rodrigo Sr. while Cisco Bio and his father Pancho Bio, of El Cajon, Calif., will share the driving in two classes—Cisco as driver of record in SCORE Lite and Pancho as DOR in Class 9.
B.J. Baldwin and his father Bobby Baldwin, of Las Vegas, drive separate Chevy Silverado trucks in the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division while Rod Hall will drive in two classes, one with each of his sons.
The venerable Hall, Reno, Nev., is only individual who has raced in all 41 previous Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 races.
The legendary Hall has a race-record 19 career class wins in this event and is the only driver to have competed every year (all in a car or truck class). Hall, who will turn 72 on Nov. 22, will be looking for two class wins this year as he is entered as the second driver for his sons Josh and Chad Hall in Hummer H3 vehicles in both the Stock Mini and Stock Full classes.
The three-generation McMillin Racing family, who all live in the San Diego area, continue to follow in the racetracks of family patriarch Corky McMillin, who raced until shortly before he passed away at 76 in 2006.
Corky’s sons Mark and Scott will both drive in the marquee SCORE Trophy-Truck division. Mark will share driving with longtime team member Brian Ewalt while Scott will be the second driver for his son Andy, who won the 2006 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 driving with Robby Gordon.
Mark’s sons Daniel and Luke McMillin will share the driving in a Class 1-2/1600 entry.
McMillin Racing has 12 class wins in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, led by Mark McMillin’s eight class wins which includes five overall titles.
Another prominent Mexican race team, Gus Vildosola Jr. and Gus Vildosola Sr., share the driving in a Ford F-150 in the SCORE Trophy-Truck division.
Wilson Motorsports of Long Beach, Calif., is another of the prominent multi-generational SCORE Baja race teams. In this year’s race, Randy Wilson and his brother Ronny will team up in Class 1 where Randy is the current class point leader heading into the season finale. In Class 1-2/1600, cousins Brian Wilson and Brad Wilson will share driving with Las Vegas’ Sammy Ehrenberg. Brian Wilson enters the race currently tied for the Class 1-2/1600 point lead.
The only husband/wife combination entered as drivers of record this year are Cameron Steele and Heidi Steele of San Clemente, Calif. Cameron Steele races in SCORE Trophy-Truck while Heidi Steele is the Class 6 point leader in her Ford Ranger.
Both racing in motorcycle classes, leading the brother and sister racers entered this year are Quinn Cody and Anna Cody. Quinn Cody, Los Olivos, Calif., is a team rider for Johnny Campbell Racing in the open Class 22 while Anna Cody, Simi Valley, Calif., is the rider of record for a strong team in Class 20.
Among the other father/son teams competing together are Las Vegas’ Rudy and Carlos Cortez (Class 1), Stuart Chase, Burbank, Calif. and Eric Chase, San Diego (Class 1), Mexico’s Carlos and Gerardo Iribe (Class 1-2/1600), Mark and Shea McIntyre, Oakland, Calif. (Class 1-2/1600), Dan and Thomas Chamlee, Carpenteria, Calif. (Class 7), Lee and Lee Banning Jr. (SCORE Lite), Luis and Luis Barragan Jr., Mexicali, Mexico (SCORE Lite), Brian and Cody Parkhouse, Long Beach, Calif. (SCORE Lite) along with Ron and Jeremy Purvines, Henderson, Nev. (Class 21).
John Langley, the Producer of the popular COPS Television show, has two family vehicles entered in the SCORE Lite class. He is driver of record in one vehicle with his son Zak as a co-driver and his other son Morgan is driver of record in the second vehicle.
This year’s race also features two sets of twin brothers racing together. Arturo and Able Velazco, Banning, Calif. (Class 1-2/1600) and Matt and Max Eddy, Barstow., Calif. (Class 22) are the two sets of twins.
Leading the brothers racing separately are England’s Darren and Gavin Skilton. Darren Skilton races in Class 3 while Gavin Skilton competes in the Stock Mini class. The brothers each won their respective classes in this race last year.
Among the other brothers racing together are: Phoenix’s Nick, Larry and Mike Vanderwey (SCORE Trophy-Truck), Eric and Hiram Duran, Tecate, Calif. (Class 1-2/1600), Sacramento’s Donald and Kenneth Moss (Class 3), Scott Wisdom, Lake Forest, Calif. and Brady Wisdom, Huntington Beach, Calif. (SCORE Lite) and Ryan and Connor Penhall, Corona, Calif. (Class 22).
The race will start and finish on Boulevard Costero adjacent to the picturesque Bahia de Todos Santos in front of the historical Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in the heart of Ensenada.

Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in the heart of Ensenada.
Pre-running on the 672.85-mile loop course will officially begin
on Saturday. Pre-running will be allowed from Ojos Negros and back,
starting at race mile 43.3. One way pre-running from the start to Ojos
Negros will be allowed only on Wednesday and Thursday of race week
(Nov. 18 and 19). During the race, the first section of the course,
approximately 40 miles, will be used leaving the city and returning to
Ensenada.
While late entries are accepted up to race day, a total of 303
entries have officially been accepted for the race as of today which
will put the starting field in the top 10 in the 42-year history of
the storied event.
“We have been able, with the dedication and cooperation of many
of our friends in Baja California, to develop a race course for the
42nd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 that will challenge even the most
experienced of our great SCORE desert racers,” commented Sal Fish,
SCORE President/CEO since soon after it was founded in 1973. “This
great, great course presents the competitors with all of the variety
of terrain and elevation changes you could possibly hope for along
with the dramatic beauty of Baja. This spectacular race course
features the best of the courses we have used in our last three SCORE
Baja races.”
With massive crowds reaching nearly 250,000 anticipated to again
be spread out along the rugged course that travels from Ensenada, down
Laguna Salada to San Felipe, down through the legendary Matomi Wash,
around Mike’s Sky Ranch, through both Rancho El Trachis and Rancho El
Coyote, down the infamous Simpson’s Hill and back to the Pacific Coast
below San Vicente and up through Santo Tomas, Uruapan and back to Ojos
Negros, covering much of the northern half of the majestic Baja
California peninsula to and from Ensenada.
From the start in Ensenada the course will go east to Ojos Negros
for almost 40 miles which will be raced in both directions during the
race. From Ojos Negros, the course will travel in a clockwise
direction. From Ojos Negros, the course turns South to El Alamo and
then east up through the Summit and makes a South turn at Cohabuzo
Junction and on to the the infamous Laguna Salada, paralleling Mexican
Highway 5. Next is San Felipe loop where the course will cover some
of the rugged Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 course including the
magnificent Matomi Wash.
After the San Felipe loop, which travels in a counterclockwise
direction from and back to Borrego, the course will head north and
northwest, joining Highway 3 for a short distance to the Mike’s Sky
Ranch turnoff. Then the course heads behind Mike’s and around Rancho
Trachis and Rancho Coyote and down the challenging Simpson’s hill.
From this point the course is very similar to the Tecate SCORE Baja
500 heading north along the Pacific Ocean below San Vicente and past
Erendira, back inland up through Santo Tomas then turning northeast
just past Uruapan winding its way back to Ojos Negros for the final
charge back to Ensenada. In the Erendira area, the course avoids the
rocky section along the Pacific, taking instead a high plateau east of
that area.
The course features six checkpoints, where vehicle numbers and
passing times are recorded to help verify the information gathered on
the electronic recording devices that are mounted on all vehicles in
the race.
The locations of the six checkpoints are: Checkpoint 1 (race-mile
90.03, North of Santa Catarina), CP2 (rm213.27-southwest of Borrego),
CP3 (rm309.80-South of San Felipe), CP4 (rm401.94-Southwest of
Borrego), CP5 (rm 535.32-San Vicente Vineyards) and CP6 (rm631.25-Ojos
Negros).
